Biography


Born in Léopoldville,[1] He competed for Zaire at the 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany[2] and also won the 1974 African Cup of Nations in Egypt defeating Zambia in a second game by 2–0.

Mavuba is remembered for taking direct free kicks and penalty kick executions. He is credited with being the first Congolese footballer ever to score from a corner kick: a curved shot that went in straight in the back of the net without deflections.

Following his football career, Mavuba moved to Angola. He fled the country with his family at the onset of the civil war in 1984 and lived as a refugee in France until his death in November 1996.[3]
